By studying correspondences between the illustrated coins and genuine, ancient coins, Madigan parses Fulvio’s methodology, showing how he attempted to exploit coins as historical documents.  Situated within humanist literary and historical studies of ancient Rome, his numismatic project required visual artists closely to study and assimilate the conventions of ancient portraiture. The Illustrium imagines exemplifies the range and complexity of early modern responses to ancient artifacts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface   Acknowledgments   List of Figures      Introduction      1 The Contexts of the Book and Its Author      2 The Republic: Vr–XXIr      3 The Early Empire: Julio-Claudians through Flavians: XXIv–LXIIIv      4 The Middle Empire: Nerva Through the Antonines: LXVr–LXXXIv      5 The Late Empire: Septimius Severus through the Tetrarchs: LXXXIXr–XCIIIv      6 Late Antiquity: Constantinus I through Mezentius (Maxentius):  XCVr–CVIr; and Medieval Rulers: CVIv–CXVIIIr      7 Fulvio’s Resources, Methods and Attitudes Concerning Visual and Material Evidence      8 Addendum: Fulvio’s Model Ancient Coins and the Borghesi Collection   Works Cited   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210666172759,"sku":"9789004288126","price":103.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/andrea-fulvio-s-illustrium-imagines-and-the-beginnings-of-classical-archaeology-9789004288126","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
